After 15 months I received my crate from Kuche Safaris in South Africa. It was my first trip to Africa and I'm very pleased with everything. Good communication from the shipper and the Kuche team on the status of my trophies. The quality of the trophies exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I understand there are premium taxidermists that charge a premium price. I would likely use Kuche again. I live in central OK and there are LOTS of hunters and fisherman who know good taxidermy. They've all been impressed.

They look really nice.. Is the office photo you and your Kudu? If so, where did you go to get that printed?
 
glad to see a happy hunter.
 
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Glad it all worked out.
 
Very nice! I'd be happy too!
 
Congratulations on some beautiful trophies, it’s always a great weight off your shoulders when a crate arrives safe and sound!
 
Beautiful trophy’s and memories.
do you mind sharing your shipping info and pricing, plus on this end, airport transfer fees, and if it was then trucked to your home.
I’m in the middle of getting mine shipped as well, it’s always enlightening to see costs from different countries and US fees and transport costs as well.
 
Very, very nice. This is encouraging to see. We will be hunting with them in May.
 
Very nice and a couple questions:
My crate should leave SA tomorrow and wondering did you pickup or have shipped? I am in OKC so will use your for a quessimate for shipping.
I also wonder as another poster where you got the print done.
Needless to say I may copy what you have done I like it so much.

Congratulations. Very nice.
I love that Kudu! The one in my picture came from my first trip with Koos as well. They have sent some great Kudu bulls from Limpopo to central Oklahoma for sure.

I paid the S. African shipping Co $1200 and the Houston Customs agent $1150. It was shipped to my office in OKC. I have a forklift/loading area so that save me a $200ish on the truck to OKC.

I paid the S. African shipping Co $1200 and the Houston Customs agent $1150. Mine was shipped by boat so all theses prices are from Oct/Nov. It was shipped to my office in OKC. Poster was done at canvasondemand.com. BOOMER!

@jsskaggs is it safe to assume the 1150$ fee in HOU included trucking to OKC?

We 'll visit Livingstone / Vic Falls for 3 days and 2 nights. Back to Mapcha by car, back to WDH with Airlink (grab my rifles and belongings) and the same day back to Frankfurt.
What do you mind from your own experience ? and your wife .? Did she appreciate ?
We already hunted Namibia in 2022, May for PG near Outjo for 8 days. Great country.
Thank you for your advises.
